Look Elsewhere

I hired Merklin in a domestic case. On the day of my trial,it was obvious he was not prepared. I had left online documentation, which he never printed or even read, on the way into court he asked me to review the case, a sure sign he was NOT prepared. Do yourself a service and look elsewhere.

Great representation

I had great representation under very trying and stressful situation. He was organized ,punctual, and very accurate and his advice and representation . Hopefully you would not find yourself in a position do you need a divorce attorney , but if you do he's a great choice for your representing... attorney.

I will only choose Mr. Merklin to represent me.

I have had Mr. Merklin represent me twice in the past three years. He and his staff were accommodating and helpful and so supportive through the most difficult time in my life. Through my dissolution he walked me through all my options. He took time to explain things to me. I then used him in a case ...where he was ready to go to battle for me and I had all the faith in the world in him. I will only use Mr. Merklin to represent me. I have sent many friends to him as a referral because of how I was treated and how his took care of me.

Waste of time and money

If you want to lose your case, then this is your guy. He was ill-prepared. Did not have documentation ready. Used my NOTES (that I just happened to have with me on day of trial) as exhibits. MY NOTES were never meant to be exhibits. I had a whole website complete with my story, easy to print out docu...mentation, which I showed him at our initial meeting (but never read or used any of it). In fact he never got on the website after I left his office (I had a tracking mechanism which counts anytime he would have gotten on). When in court, I knew five minutes into the case, we were going to lose. His presentation was a total joke. It was fragmented and unorganized. I could go on but I think you got the point. Merklin is an ill-prepared lawyer that needs to go to toastmasters to learn how to speak. If you want to win your case, LOOK ELSEWHERE.

Excellent: The Very Best

Mr. Merklin accepted my custody case at the last minute, completely saving the day for me. I won shared parenting for my young daughter as a result of Mr. Merklin's knowledge, skill and care for my case. Mr. Merlin listened, researched and hustled to present a strong and convincing case on my behalf.... With odds against me (I am male, handicapped, and had a previous bad lawyer), Mr. Merlin excelled. He is professional, personable, available and effective. Mr. Merlin is worthy of the highest recommendation possible.
